"People are being left with uncertainty, feeling disappointment and distrust in the government." "The government must reserve the winter fuel cuts." Lisa Smart MP

Thank you to everyone at St Peter's Hospice who took time to chat with me. I was able to see the facilities and talk about the funding challenges they face to continue its wonderful work.

This is a welcome climbdown and will offer relief to many struggling pensioners this winter. I am glad the Chancellor has listened to the Liberal Democrats and finally reversed her decision, the question now is why did it take so long and what did she gain from it? bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5yx…

Today, I pressed Ministers to review their woolly 'grey belt' definition to ensure it doesn't allow developers to salami slice our Green Belt. I was disappointed they refused to do so.

Tonight at 9pm on Channel 4, Jamie’s Dyslexia Revolution airs — and I’m so proud to have been featured. As someone with dyslexia, it means the world to see Jamie Oliver championing this issue. Please tune in and be part of the revolution. #DyslexiaRevolution #ComeOnBridget

As a football fan, I was very excited to get up close to the Women's Euro 2022 trophy as part of a Football Association's reception that was 'Celebrating the Lionesses'. Good luck to the team as they defend their title in Switzerland in July.

The Planning & Infrastructure Bill is the key plank of this Government's housebuilding strategy. However, unless zero carbon homes are at the heart of this we will struggle to bring down bills and reduce emissions. I am proud the Liberal Democrats are continuing to fight for this.

It was good to meet with Julie Simpson, Executive Head at St Mary's School in Yate. Like many other school leaders she is worried about education funding. South Glos is one of the lowest funded authorities in England and I am campaigning to change that.

It's incredibly disappointing to hear of Nat West's decision to close its Yate branch. Using the Post Office is an option but we are yet to hear about plans for Yate Post office. Nat West’s decision makes it crucial that the Post Office stays in Yate Shopping Centre

Props to Claire Young MP 🔶: her question on SEND - special needs & disabilty - was spot on.

It was great to be at the Chipping Sodbury Festival today. I had an open surgery where people could drop in and talk to me, but I also had a chance to see the all other stalls. A really nice day -and the weather stayed dry!

I met members of Chipping Sodbury Lions Club at the festival. They were promoting a 'Message in a Bottle' - small pots that keep personal and medical information in a handy home location to aid emergency services if they are called to your house. lionsmessageinabottle.co.uk

The Liberal Democrats’ foreign affairs team have written to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, urging them to take the vital step of formally recognising a state of Palestine.
